Abstract: |
In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of 35 Cornfields, Burwell, Cambridgeshire CB25 0AX (NGR TL 5954 6611). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a new development of 14no residential dwellings (East Cambs Council Ref. 17/00419/FUM), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team. Archaeological features were present in Trial Trenches 2 - 3 and 5 - 6, and not 1, 4 and 7. The features were predominantly post holes: Trench 2 (2), Trench 3 (5) and Trench 6 (2). In addition a pit was recorded in Trench 5 (F1007) and a ?natural hollow or hollow way was recorded in Trench 2 (F1013). Finds were sparse: Hollow F1013 contained animal bone (2g), and Post Hole F1003 contained an abraded ?Roman pottery sherd, likely residual. Due to the confines of the trench it was difficult to define the hollow, F1013, located in Trench 2. It may represent a naturally in-filled depression but equally may represent a hollow way. It contained sparse and degraded animal bone (2g). The archaeological features recorded during the evaluation are largely undated and at some distance from the known archaeological remains. The possible exception is F1013 (Trench 2) which may represent a hollow way conceivably associated with the settlement at Melton Farm but this is conjecture. |
